        “What kind of time do you call this?”  Xander doesn’t even have it in him to be surprised.  “And what kind of costume do you call that?”
        He could protest that it takes a ridiculous amount of time to put on a wig, something that Snyder obviously wouldn’t get because he’s obviously never worn one in his life.  But he’s not going to care.  And sure, he’s probably not going to care about the next bit either, but at least if he turns it on the Troll at least he’s slightly more likely to be defensive rather than offensive.  “Hey, a wig and some makeup counts as a costume!  Unless the school plans on making some kind of costume fund…”  He touches one of the bruises, the fact that he knows it’s coming the only thing that stops him from flinching.  “You’d like the story for this one—a clever if nosy and lazy teenage detective that pokes his nose in the wrong place and gets beat up for his trouble.”
        Snyder does shut up about that, at least.  He smirks at the thought (man, why did they pick a legit sadist to run a school) and then just starts right in on barking orders, which was the point, anyway.
